AS/400 User Guide
Messages
The AS/400 system uses messages extensively to convey information to users. These
messages can be generated either from the AS/400 operating system or from users.
The messages generated from the AS/400 are of two types: informational and warning. Some
messages require a response in order for a further activity to take place. Most messages,
however, are informational and do not require a response.
Messages are sent to, received, stored and displayed from areas called message queues.
There are four types of message queues. The type of message queue is important when
displaying messages.
